W6r1

[juliet2018]

I just finished w6r1 and I thought it would be easy after running for 20 mins in the last run.

I was wrong!! It was really hard. I’m exhausted. 😞

Maybe you were going too quick. You need to be really slow. Buy yourself time and save puff 😤

You did it though so big up to you 💪👍😃🏃‍♀️

Rest up now 😃

[juliet2018 in reply to misswobble]

Yeah maybe.

Thanks 😁

Think I was trying to do bigger strides thinking I was a super athlete all of a sudden 🤣

[misswobble Graduate in reply to juliet2018]

Small steps. Don’t stride out you’ll over do things. One of the tips from whomever your podcaster is will tell you to “keep all your running under your hips”

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

That run has caught many people out... it looks easier than it is and so we tend to speed up a little. Well done completing it.

Soon, Juliet, Soon!

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

It was your longest workout to date............ well done!

[Harristone Graduate]

Me too! Will make sure my next run is really slow and on the flat!

[juliet2018 in reply to Harristone]

Good idea! Good luck

[gsjltm Graduate]

Congratulations on completing it though. It’ll be good to know how runs two and three go.

[juliet2018 in reply to gsjltm]

Thanks, will keep you posted!

Missed out run 2 of week six as was trying to catch up with the group and went straight to the 25 minute run. It was fantastic! Set off at a very steady (slow) pace and by the end was picking up pace and felt like I could continue. (i didn't) Looking forward to running tonite.

Week 6 catches a lot of people out. Slow and steady wins the race

[Harristone Graduate]

Ceri1969 your so right. Now on week 7 and run 1 was great. A steady pace is the way to go.

Just done my w6r1 and like you I thought it was going to be easier but it was the hardest to date for me.

I may have tired myself out in the first 5 minute run, telling myself I shouldn't run as slow as I did for my 20min run if this is so much shorter.

For run 2 this week I'll go slower. I don't want to demotivate myself.

Yes, I've just done mine, was so chuffed on Friday managed it but found today hard but enjoying it....😄
